Payment timing
A 60-day payment window could make cash flow unpredictable.
The excerpt does not specify a deposit, late fee, or what happens if an invoice is disputed. That can leave you carrying project costs for longer than expected.

What deserves a closer read.
High attention
Ownership
The client receives every file immediately, even before final payment.
This language appears to include working files and transfers ownership upon creation. Consider whether final files, source files, and pre-existing tools should be treated differently.
Scope and exits
“Reasonable revisions” and “not accepted” are not defined.
Without a revision limit or acceptance process, the client could ask for more work than you expected. The refund language may also need a clearer rule for work already completed.
Questions to ask
Bring a sharper brief to the conversation.
- 01
Could we set payment at a deposit plus a shorter final-payment deadline?
- 02
Which deliverables transfer after full payment, and are working or source files included?
- 03
How many revision rounds are included, and what is the rate for additional changes?
- 04
What counts as accepted work, and how would a partial project be handled if either side ends the agreement?
